Hi! My name is Marcin Jóźwik.
I'm a game designer loving emergent systems, experimental design and rapid prototyping! I've worked on games like Survivors of Xcalibur, Toy Trains and SUPERHOT: MCD.
Have a good day 🌞
Exactly 10 years ago, I wrote the very first line of code for my first video game — a tiny side project called "Grab the Notes!".

And I thought to myself — Well, that’s kinda fun!

A new mission for 2025:

I'm joining @tragsoft.bsky.social to work on a new @coromonthegame.bsky.social - Coromon: Rogue Planet!

It's going to be a good year ♥️

The very last photo to my trilogy.

It's been more than 7 years of combined work for SUPERHOT and @srgames.bsky.social within these walls.

I’m honored that I could work with such amazing people, make fun games everyday and grow as a designer. It was a real privilege.

Time for new adventure!

"I had never even thought about playing a Vampire Survivors style game in VR, but Survivors of Xcalibur has shown that the formula can work extremely well. An absolute bargain for the €5 asking price!"

What makes games easy to learn and hard to master?

We hear that phrase everywhere. We all know it by heart, but what does it exactly mean from the perspective of game design?

Let's seek the formula together:

How many game pillars is too many?

I'm thrilled to announce that I haven't been nominated for any award this year.

But I still want to thank my dad.

Looking for something easy to read? A few design lessons from my early games to enjoy with a morning coffee ☕

Let me know what you think about this format!

I've blatantly stolen it from someone's account and changed two words.

Can we beat my incredible top post having 2 likes?

Game Design is like making an experimental artsy movie and a washing machine manual at the same time.
